The (im)Mobility of Web 2.0 Apps

narramissic writes "So many Web 2.0 apps seem like a natural fit for use on mobile phones -- more so, in fact, than the PCs they were written for. Take for example, Google maps or Flickr or any of the myriad social networking sites. Frankly, I wonder why anyone would even want to use them while sitting at a desk. And yet the reality of using those apps on cell phones is solidly disappointing because of the inherent constraints of mobile phones and networks. This article gets deeper into the ups and downs of reworking Web 2.0 apps for use on mobile phones."

Frankly, you could be an idiot.

Ehmm...nice display, maybe?
Like the added functions available on a desktop?
Have no use for a mobile phone, but still have a use for Google Maps?
Maybe I only feel the need to be connected when I want to be connected?
Don't really give a rat's ass about your opinions?

Sit down, and STFU. The world does not revolve around you. If more people had more influence, then maybe you would see your utopia realised, but apparently we do not all like your brand of koolaid.
